Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways that is functionally characterized by variability of lung function and bronchial hyper-responsiveness. Its diagnosis and management is commonly hampered by the lack of objective parameters. This article reviews additional techniques for evaluating both, lung function (bronchial challenge with adenosin-monophosphate, lung resistance measurement by either the impulse oscillometry system or whole body pletismography) and bronchial immuno-inflammatory response (induced sputum, condensates of exhaled air, monitoring of nitric oxide in exhaled air), as well as our experience with them. |
